South Ocean lions must be tamed or removed | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

Clutch the pearls Doris, the majestic lions at the end of the driveway are six inches too high! Perhaps another solution would be to remove the top six inches of their skulls. Only in Palm Beach - inches matter! Click title for link.
Rinker, owner of 1720 S. Ocean Blvd., is under fire for two 6-foot, 6-inch lion statues guarding the entrance to her driveway. Although the statues have been there for about 15 years, the town recently discovered a setback violation — they’re a little bit too tall — after a resident complained.
Rinker said she bought the house last summer and the lions were part of the deal.
“I think they’re a nice statement when you come into my driveway,” she said. “I don’t want to move them. I don’t want to destroy them. They were expensive.”
